Spirit Day

Today we are supposed to wear purple in memory of those who have committed suicide because of gay hate. I am very passionate about fighting gay hate so that’s what I’ve decided to write about today.

To start off, I cannot understand why someone has to go out of their way to make others’ business their business. If you don’t like something, then don’t be involved. Ignore it. We all hate bad weather, but that doesn’t mean we all go around shouting at rain and snow and trying to beat it. No, we dress warmly and go on with our day. If people are racist, they hide it because it is socially unacceptable in our society. If you don’t like certain personality traits, you avoid people with those traits. So why is it that so many people have to go out of their way just to show that they do not approve? It’s nonsense!

Secondly, what part of anyone else’s love life is the business of someone else? I cannot walk up to two strangers and say they cannot marry because I wish them not to and have it be. No, they would laugh at me for thinking I get a say and move on and get married. So why should it be difference for same sex couples?

Thirdly, who is anyone to judge? Who is to say that it is not right for people to be gay? “God intended man and woman to be together”. Ok, when did he tell you that? How do you know what god intended? When did he speak to you? Ever think that maybe god created everything as he intended and everything that exists is his doing? Doesn’t the bible say that we are all equal in god’s eyes and he created us all equal?

“Gay’s will pay for their sins?” Honestly? As if people chose to be gay? Isn’t sin an intentional choice made by a person? That’s like saying “all blondes will pay for their sins.”

To finish off, I just wanna say that the soul has no gender. Love comes from the soul. Love is love no matter where it comes from, man or woman. And please stand up against hate of any kind. No one should be made to feel miserable enough to want to end their life.
